Hi Mischa,

You have an interesting commission ahead of you - someone else's photo and a surprise painting, to boot.

You should be sure to start with the best reference you can. You certainly don't want to use the colors from the photo you have, and although what Ilaria did is good - it's a bit washed out.

Also you will want to tip your reference to match the angle you're painting, otherwise you'll have major alignment issues.

Here's a black & white with a simple value pattern to follow - and an adjusted color one.

Good luck!
Cindy
